LOL. Yeah, he should either come to Michigan or go to some mid-major where we can just root for him to bust somebody else’s bracket. :grin:

Or at least until next year, when he goes 12-18 without Kurtwig. :wink:

Don’t forget, Krutwig can come back if he wants!

One of the reasons I picked Illinois to go far is because I couldn’t fathom that happening in a tourney game.

Oh well, I’m not complaining!

Here come the Loyola misses at the FT line

Great move on defense by Loyola doubling the ball with Krutwig, then switching smaller player on Kofi. Protects Krutwig from fouls and sends Kofi to line where hes not good

Going to be very mad if this leads to Cockburn coming back though. Still worth it, of course.

I have to admit I took Loyola in a couple of my brackets but I think it was more out of spite than anything

Its the reason I didn’t have them winning the whole thing. Didn’t think they could string together 6 solid games in a row. Don’t know that they have all year.

I took Loyola in my only bracket and it was absolutely, 100000% a spite pick.

How many points will it take for Loyola to do this? I’d say 67

So much is on the refs here. Illinois plays so aggressive and that just gets turned up in this situation. They need to call legitimate fouls.

Illinois is trailing by 17% of their point total, and they have 10% of the clock remaining. If Loyola can score another two or three baskets, I don’t think Illinois can catch them.

I’ll never say another bad word about Sister Jean if they pull this off. It’ll be the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I’ll do it.
